"Qingque! Come with me!"
In the post house half an hour ago, Mo Chui quickly put the silk with writing on it into his sleeve and looked around cautiously. Then he turned his head and said to Li Tai.
"good!"
Li Tai nodded, and under the leadership of Mo Chui, the two of them came to the backyard of the post house. Machinery and equipment brought from the academy were piled here. They were guarded by the imperial army day and night, so this place was undoubtedly safer than the previous quiet room. , and no one will eavesdrop secretly.
"Qing Que, could it be that Li Junxian above is the current Commander of the Hundred Cavalry?"
Under a big banyan tree in the backyard, after repeatedly confirming that no one was eavesdropping within a few feet, Mo Chui looked at Li Tai and asked seriously.
The Mo family previously lived in seclusion in a bitter cold land and did not care about world affairs or government affairs. At that time, Mo Chui did not know who Li Junxian was, but since everyone in the Mo family joined Yanhuang Academy under the leadership of Mo Huai last year, that is, they officially joined the WTO, they had no idea about the government. Mo Chui gradually became familiar with some of the officials and generals and could call them by their names!
"Exactly!"
Li Tai nodded and frowned: "I didn't expect that my father actually sent Commander Li here, but the strange thing is that since Commander Li came to Taiyuan, why didn't he show up?"
Mo Chui did not answer, but asked again: "Qingque, are you sure that the person who sent us this letter must be Li Junxian? Is there someone imposter~?"
Li Tai thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said: "Probably not! Yesterday, my father asked people from the Qintian Prison to send a telegram to ask me about my situation in Taiyuan City. He must have been a little worried about the situation in Taiyuan City at that time. , it is entirely possible to send Commander Li and a hundred cavalry to go to Taiyuan secretly. Based on the distance, if they ride fast horses day and night, they should be able to reach Taiyuan City today!
And since the other party can send us a message, it means that he is near us, and it is very likely that he heard our previous conversation. If he was not Commander Li, but our enemy, he wouldn't have to do anything extra and just send people to ambush us on the way to escort the thermal generator! "
"Yes! What you said is right, Qingque! It seems that General Li is really sending us secret messages!"
Mo Chui nodded, and then continued: "As for why he didn't show up, it seems to be the current situation in Taiyuan City. It would be more convenient for him to hide in the dark than to stay in the light! After all, we are in the light now, and the enemy is there. It’s dark, it’s easy to hide from an open spear, but it’s hard to defend against a hidden arrow!”
Hearing this, Li Tai agreed: "Sir's analysis is reasonable!"
"The question now is, since an unknown person eavesdropped on the plan we discussed earlier, what should we do this afternoon~? In addition, who is this eavesdropper? What force does he come from? He and the person who previously assassinated General Dugu Are those assassins the same group?"
Mo Chui frowned and said.
This series of four questions silenced Li Tai. After the little fat man frowned and thought for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said slightly excitedly: "Yes!"
Mo Chui, who was thinking hard, was startled. When he came to his senses, he quickly asked: "Does Qingque have any good plans?"
"Whether it's good or not is another matter, but this plan can at least let us know where this eavesdropper comes from!"
Li Tai smiled and began to explain to Mo Chui seriously:
"Now that someone has overheard our plan to escort the thermal generator, it's okay if he doesn't have any ill intentions towards us. If he does, then he and the people behind him will definitely be on our way to Longshan this afternoon. To ambush and intercept, in my opinion, we might as well use the trick and let this person fall into the trap! By then, wouldn’t it be easy to investigate the forces behind him~? "
"Use the best to the best of your ability... It's good to use the best to the best of your ability! But we can't really bring the fire generator over. If the other party is determined to destroy our generator, the Imperial Army may not be able to protect it! If the generator is damaged by then, we will come to Taiyuan. The plan was completely ruined!"
Mo Chui nodded thoughtfully and then suggested.
"That's natural!"
Li Tai laughed when he heard this: "After a while, I asked someone to put some stones in a wooden box, and then put them into the carriage, so that the carriage looked like it contained heavy goods from the outside. Anyway, through the curtain and the wooden box, they also Don't know what's inside.
In the afternoon, the carriage carrying the stones followed our original route. At the same time, the carriage transporting the thermal generator set off from the back door of the inn. While the thieves were using all their efforts to ambush the fake generator, we took the opportunity to transport the real generator to Longshan. , in this way, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone! Even if the thief is caught, it will not delay our progress in building a telegraph relay station! "
"Okay! Okay! Okay! This is a very good plan! Qingque, you are planning to build the plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang!"
After Mo Chui heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help stroking his hands and laughing.
But then, he suddenly remembered something and said: "But, I don't know if the person who eavesdropped on our conversation before has seen your appearance, Qingque. If he has, it will be difficult! If the other party is delivering wigs in the afternoon If I don't see you in the Denki team, I will definitely be suspicious; but Qingque, you have a special status and you must not take any risks, so what should I do?"
Having said this, Mo Chui couldn't help but frown deeply. Now it seemed that they had a good chance to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but they seemed to have entered an unsolvable dead end because they were silently talking before. During the conversation in the room, Li Tai said that he would personally escort this batch of machines to Longshan in the afternoon. If he wanted to make the "show" more realistic, Li Tai had to go this afternoon!
But if Li Tai goes and something goes wrong, no one can bear this responsibility!
"...Hmm~! Don't worry, Mr. Mo Chui, I have a solution for this~!"
Li Tai frowned at first, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly said excitedly: "Tiedan is good at martial arts. Why don't you let Tiedan go for a run on my behalf this afternoon? Let him put on my clothes, put on a bamboo hat, and then disguise himself." Fan, in this way, no one will be able to recognize him! And with Tiedan’s martial arts, he will be able to escape even if he encounters danger! And we want to make the whole show complete, General Feiying will personally escort him this afternoon Hardcore!"
Mo Chui thought about it seriously, and finally he thought Li Tai's plan was feasible, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay! Since you have thought so thoroughly, Qingque, let's act according to your plan! Time is running out, you Now go tell Tiedan about the matter and ask him to cooperate with you!"
"good!"
Li Tai cupped his hands, turned and left.
Time returns to the present.
Just when Li Tai ordered everyone to speed up and arrive at Longshan as soon as possible, a chaotic and rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the end of the street. Li Tai couldn't help but feel nervous, because in order to keep it secret, he planned to build this plank road openly and covertly with Chen Cang. Only a few of him, Tiedan, Mo Chui, Dugu Feiying, and Qin Huaiyu knew about it. The government officials in the city and the government soldiers in the Bingzhou camp definitely didn't know, so the cavalry that suddenly appeared was definitely not the government officials or Bingzhou. The soldiers and horses of the camp, and Dugu Xin's side, something happened in the south of the city at this time, theoretically he should have no time to spare, right
Li Tai's heart suddenly rose to his throat. At this moment, he had thought of countless possibilities in his mind. The worst possibility was that their plan was leaked, and the group of people lurking in the city were now going to attack them. Take action!
"The entire army is on alert~!"
Thinking of this, Li Tai shouted loudly to the surrounding imperial troops.
"Here~!"
The Imperial Guards loudly promised.
In fact, Li Tai didn't need to say anything. The Imperial Guards were already alert at this time and put their hands on the hilts of their knives. They knew Li Tai's identity. If the other party really came with bad intentions, they would fight to the death to protect Li Tai's Zhou Quan!
Under everyone's gaze and full vigilance, the cavalry team got closer and closer. Finally, someone saw the face of the leading general clearly and couldn't help shouting: "It's General Flying Eagle~!"
"Really...really General Flying Eagle!"
More and more people saw the person clearly, and the highly tense and alert atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Li Tai, Mo Chui and others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, because they also discovered that the cavalry who came was none other than Dugu Fei. The Imperial Army led by Eagle!
"Uu~!"
After a while, Dugu Feiying and his party came to Li Tai and others quickly. Dugu Feiying quickly got off his horse. He first looked at Li Tai and others and saw that everyone was neatly dressed and did not look like they were being attacked. , Dugu Feiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then cupped his fists towards Li Tai and said:
"Your Highness, our people were ambushed in the south of the city. The person sent by the other party has been captured by the general. Tiedan is leading the army to escort him back to the post house. The general is worried about your safety, your highness, so he rushed over immediately!"
"Oh~? They really couldn't help but take action~?"
Li Tai raised his eyebrows, and then he quickly asked: "How are the casualties of the soldiers~?"
Dugu Feiying clasped his fists and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the opponent charged into the formation with a carriage burning with blazing fire. The main purpose was to burn the supplies on the carriage. The general ordered the soldiers to abandon supplies and save their lives first, so in this battle the soldiers There were no casualties!”
"...That's it~!"
Hearing this, Li Tai finally understood why there was a lot of thick smoke in the south of the city. He nodded to Dugu Feiying and said: "General Feiying, you did a good job! Now that we have captured their people, we will interrogate them after we go back." Let’s take a look and see who is stirring up trouble in the dark! Now we should transport the thermal generator to Longshan as soon as possible before the enemy can react! It should be safe once we get there!”
The terrain of Longshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has been built into a heavily defended military base by the Forbidden Army. Nearly half of the thousand Forbidden Army brought by the two brothers Duguxin were arranged in Longshan, so compared to Taiyuan City , Longshan is undoubtedly safer at this time.
"Your Highness is right! Let's set off as soon as possible!"
Dugu Feiying nodded.
So, without further delay, everyone got on their horses and headed towards Longshan.
